Why Doesn't the Tracking Code Copy When Duplicating a Page?
When you duplicate a step in a funnel or a page on your website within Stack, you might notice that the tracking code doesn't automatically transfer over. Let's explore why this happens and how it benefits you.
Understanding the Cloning Process
When you clone a page, the new page is essentially a fresh start. Here's what you need to know:
- Original Page: This is your starting point, complete with its own unique tracking code.
- Cloned Page: A duplicate of the original, but without the original tracking code.
Why Tracking Codes Aren't Copied
Tracking codes are designed to be unique to each page. Here’s why they don’t get copied:
-
Avoiding Confusion: If tracking codes were copied, it could lead to inaccurate data due to multiple tracking events being recorded from the wrong pages. This can cause confusion and misinterpretation of analytics.
-
Privacy and Security: Sharing funnels across different locations or with other users could inadvertently share sensitive tracking information. By not copying tracking codes, Stack helps maintain privacy and data integrity.
Best Practices
- Add New Tracking Codes: After cloning a page, manually add any necessary tracking codes to ensure accurate data collection.
- Review and Customize: Take this opportunity to review your tracking needs and customize the codes for the new page’s specific goals.
By understanding these nuances, you can make the most out of your page duplication process in Stack while maintaining precise and secure tracking.
